Stat's My Boy!

The death of my old hard drive last weekend led to a decline in visitor numbers this week as I was unable to update the site; and, of course, the end of the current run of Doctor Who on BBC1 also saw a drop off from the high numbers of daily readers HeroPress had been attracting.

However, things seem to be picking up now that we're "live" again and hopefully my new hard drive will prove more reliable than the one that originally came with this computer!

So, here are the numbers for the last 30 days. Where applicable I've included a note of last month's figures for comparison.

Visitor Numbers (as of Saturday, 14 July): 4, 046 (3,099)
Average Number of Visitors Per Day: 22 (31)

Top 5 Countries of Origin:
United States 56% (20%)
United Kingdom 19% (46%)
Canada 8% (15%)
France 5% (5%)
Poland 1% (-)

Most Popular Entry Pages: (i.e. what brought people to the site)
For this, we can take it as read that the most popular "entry page" is always going to be either the current top story or just general browsing, but after that the pages that have brought the most readers to this site have been:

1. Doctor Who: Smith and Jones
2. Doctor Who: Last Of The Timelords
3. My Big Fat Geek Wedding
4. Six Of The Best With Clare Grant
5. The Dresden Files: Second City (Season Finale)

The third season of the new Doctor Who continues to dominate the page views, although it's rather flattering that my wedding is still drawing interest. With the future of the Dresden Files TV series still hanging in the balance, my extended article on the series finale - which includes details of the campaign for a second season - continues to pull in readers from around the globe. A final decision on renewal for the Dresden Files is now due in the next week or two.
